Dreaming in Moonlight (Summer 2014)

Ghosts are real. They are all around us. Most of the time they are satisfied to watch us go by and not interact. When a couple was cursed to spend three hundred years in death, searching for the one living couple that could release them, they search for centuries to find a love that will make time stand still. If they fail, they will be sent to Hell to live out the rest of eternity.

Demons are real. They are all around us. Their one goal is make our lives a living hell. They will stop at nothing to destroy our minds and bodies. With the curse rapidly approaching its end, the deepest darkest demon is summoned to make sure they don’t succeed.

Kate O’Malley fell in love with the old two-story farm house in Maine at first sight. She has to live there. Spending all of her savings, she is able to buy it and move right in. The very first night strange things happen. Her dreams aren’t her own. Looking for answers, she calls on a friend who puts her in contact with a ghost hunter, Sawyer Hamilton. Neither know what is in their future, neither knows if they are going to survive it.

Dreaming in Moonlight; when your sleep is filled with passion and your nightmares are real.

 

Waking in Moonlight (Summer 2014)

Finn Hamilton always tried to use her gifts to help people. Never one to see, or feel, anyone hurting she would do whatever she could to help them. Even at the risk of her own health.

Taylor Walsh thought by leaving the big city for a small town in Maine, he'd never have to see the evil people do to others again. He was wrong. Something followed him. Something that wanted to see him ruined.

When Finn is called in to help with the investigation, Taylor is angry but when he sees what she is capable of he begins to wonder if there is more around them than what he can see.

Unnaturally blocked, Finn knows she is dealing with something more powerful than your typical psychopath. For the first time in her career, she is scared and having to rely on someone else doesn't sit well with her.

Waking in Moonlight; when your days are filled with nightmares and your passion is awoken.

 

What Comes Around (Summer 2014)

Devlin Cross was Hollywood's hottest stars. He had the pick of the scripts and the pick of the women. While on break from filming his current movie, he takes a drive through the countryside and stops at a local art gallery. There the owner isn't star struck by having him in her shop.

Lily Walters is a single mother who wants nothing to do with men. Her goal in life is to raise her son to the best of her ability and give him the stable home life she never had. With her failed marriage behind her, the last thing on her radar is a relationship, especially one with a famous movie star.

Not every break up is mutual. Some exes never let go. Some will do whatever it takes to have that person back in their lives. Dead ... or alive ...

 

Treasured Secrets (Fall 2014)

Nicole Harper fell in love with the perfect house in Savannah, Georgia. A house in the old historic district that had a sordid past was available. Not wanting to lose out, she bid high and was now the new owner of Dowers House.

Waking up the first morning in her new home, she walked out back to a bloody mess. The prior owner was torn apart and thrown over her lawn and dangling from the trees.

Colt McKenna took his job as detective seriously, when the call comes in that morning he was first on scene. Something about Nicole tugged at him. Vowing to do whatever it took to give her the peace she needed, he kept close to keep her safe.

There is more to the house than meets the eye. After finding a diary in the attic, they start searching every nook of the home in search of the treasure that has been buried for over a century.

Someone else knows of the treasure, someone who has already killed to possess it. Someone who will stop at nothing to have it all for himself.

 

Falconi House Murders (Winter 2015)

The Cooper sisters, Nadia, Ava and Grace, hadn't lived under the same roof in over a decade. That was all going to change. With the death of their parents, the sisters honor the last wishes of their parents by going into business together.

The perfect opportunity to showcase all of their individual talents falls into their laps. They purchase the rundown Victorian mansion in Astoria, Oregon to open a bed and breakfast.

Nadia, being the oldest, had always taken that responsibility seriously. Going into business was an easy choice. Running a bed and breakfast with her sisters was going to be hard.

Ava always loved to cook, she worked her way up to the finest restaurants on both coasts. Now she'd be cooking for whoever showed up and trying to make sure tempers didn't overflow.

Grace was the youngest, while she might be a tomboy, she certainly didn't look it. Traveling around the country, she had restored more historic homes than the wrecking ball took down. Now she'd be restoring the most important one of all. If she could survive her sisters.

When it is discovered a murder had taken place on the property, the sisters come together to discover who got away with it. Things start to happen around the house that make it seem someone wants those secrets buried forever.

Can they figure out who killed in cold blood before the body count starts getting higher? Or could it be one of the three men that come into their lives who is hiding the most damaging secrets of them all?

 

Darkness Falls (Summer 2015)

All is not as it seems in Darkness Falls

Angel Collins couldn't get out of the small town she grew up in fast enough. Heading west, she landed in Darkness Falls waiting tables to make enough money to move onto the next town. Everything changed when
he
walked into the diner.

Nickolas Samuels keeps a distance from the residents of Darkness Falls. As their leader, if the order came down to kill any one of them, he couldn't risk getting close to them. When he feels Angel enter his domain, he has to see to her. He couldn't believe his luck that someone like her fell into his territory.

Once word gets out Angel and Nickolas are together, a battle starts to brew. But who will win good or evil, and who is on what side?

M. Stratton is an International Amazon bestselling author in the romantic suspense and mystery suspense categories for her debut novel After the Storm. She is a self-proclaimed dork who loves to make people laugh and can trip over nothing. Her inner rock star is always on stage performing to a sold out crowd but is quiet and shy on the outside.

She lives with her husband and son in Arizona, which is a big difference from where she grew up north of Chicago, Illinois. As an only child, she learned to tell herself stories to make the long winters go by quicker while dreaming of summer vacations. Now as an adult, she still makes up stories to pass the time, but now she writes them down to share with other people.

When not writing, you can find M. watching football (Go Bears!), NASCAR, or classic movies, watching her husband and father restore classic cars, and seeing who can be sillier, her or her son, and of course reading.
